neutronenbeugende
Neutronenbeugende refers to the phenomenon of neutron diffraction, a powerful experimental technique used to probe the structure of materials. When a beam of neutrons interacts with a crystalline material, the neutrons can be scattered by the atomic nuclei within the crystal lattice. Due to the wave-like nature of neutrons, this scattering process can lead to constructive and destructive interference, resulting in a diffraction pattern. This pattern is unique to the specific arrangement of atoms in the material.
The wavelength of neutrons used in diffraction experiments is typically on the order of interatomic distances,
Neutron diffraction instruments, often found at large-scale research facilities like nuclear reactors or spallation sources, are
